I've heard some people say barbell is better but have never understood why

DB are better for growth because of range of motion and the ability to safely push yourself without a spot. i thought this was common knowledge

TWIST!

Use both.

If I had to choose, I would definitely choose DBs though. I've injured myself with bench multiple times, but never with DBs.

No reason not to use both, but dumbell bench can get a bit awkward as you move to higher weights. Also, many gyms don't carry any dumbells over 80-90 lbs so you need barbells to go heavier.

This. If you're not a pussy you will max out w DB and they are just too awkward getting on and off the bench at 100+ lbs.

Thread is full of broscience. Nobody who seriously benches heavy does dumbell bench.

I do both, but it's true about a lot of gyms not having dumbbells over 70 lbs or so

Combo is best. Do normal sets with bar and then go till failure with bells.
